Controls are so lax, *and expected to be so lax*, that any punishment of such behavior will be a trolley problem of punishing some “genuinely unaware of managed trades” or inciting trading by controllers.
The less clarity and focus on Core Values, the more trolley problems later

Almost all “enforcement trolley problems” are downstream a lack of clarity in boundaries and/or low frequency of a violation to be caught
We want frequent controls to ensure the likelihood that large violations are malicious, thus more moral to prosecute.

Instead, allowing the risk of large violations by “genuinely honest but distracted” people (or who interpreted a grey area differently) makes it harder morally to prosecute violations: a vicious circle (less prosecution → less common knowledge of rules → more violations).
Example: if a manager is clear on what he wants, then giving feedback is easier.
If instead he’s not clear, and waits two weeks to give feedback to an employee who misunderstood, he’ll feel ashamed to give feedback and won’t do it, allowing the misunderstanding to grow larger.
